You can check that it has been set correctly by looking at the device configuration window, which is
accessed by pressing the ‘Configure Device’ button. (Note: photoGPS time is UTC, not local time.)
The photoGPS contains a rechargeable battery, which is charged simply by connecting the device to
a USB port. When connected, a constant red status LED indicates ‘charging’ and a constant green
status LED indicates ‘fully charged’. The charging status is also indicated in the photoGPS
configuration window. Ideally, you should fully charge the photoGPS before using it. This should
take no longer than a couple of hours.
Once you have checked that your device has been charged, and its clock is set, you are ready to test
the device. Please follow these steps to confirm that everything is working before going out and
using your device:
1. Place the photoGPS onto the camera's hot shoe
2. Take a picture, whilst observing the photoGPS LEDs.
When the shutter is pressed the LED light should flash green once. If this is the case, you are now
ready to go outside and start taking geotagged photographs. If not, consult the Troubleshooting
section.
6. Capturing Locations with photoGPS
Your photoGPS is extremely easy to use. Simply connect it to your camera via the hot shoe and take
photos as normal. Each time you take a photo, the green status LED should flash once as the device
captures GPS data for the current location. If this is not the case, consult the Troubleshooting
section at the end of this guide.
The photoGPS works by receiving GPS signals transmitted by satellites and therefore needs a good
view of the sky to function well. So, if possible, try to avoid taking photos next to walls, when
surrounded by tall buildings or indoors etc.
Of course, this is not always possible and sometimes you will want to take geotagged photos in
areas where there is poor GPS reception e.g. indoors. The JOBO photoGPS solution allows you to do
this. Simply press the device GeoHint button before you enter such an area and it will capture the
location. This can be used later, by the photoGPS software, as a hint to help geotag photos taken
inside the area of poor GPS reception.
If you forget to press the GeoHint button before entering the area, no problem, pressing the button
after leaving the area will work just as well. If you forget to press the GeoHint button at all, the
photoGPS software will still try to geotag your photos based on the positions of any earlier/later
photos and/or GeoHints.
An alternative to the GeoHint button is simply to take a photograph (with the photoGPS on the
camera) either before entering or after leaving the area of poor GPS reception. The disadvantage of
this approach is that you may have to take a photo that you don’t really want in order to geotag
those that you do.
For the best results it is advisable to keep the photoGPS connected to the camera for all photos you
wish to geotag. However, if this is not possible (e.g. the hot shoe is required for an external flash)
then the device can be removed temporarily. The photoGPS software will still try to geotag your
photos based on based on the positions of any earlier/later photos and/or GeoHints.
Tip: If you wish to take geotagged photos in an area of poor GPS reception, it may be better to use
the GeoHint button, as described, and remove the photoGPS from the camera when taking photos in
